Dragon Quest VIII remake for Vita...

Operation Rainfall is reporting on a blog post from a musician who worked on previous DQ games that DQVIII (PS2) is being remade for the Vita:

Hardly rock-solid confirmation of the title's existence, but it would be a pretty big deal for Sony's handheld. I thought Nintendo had an ironclad stranglehold on the Dragon Quest franchise.---One of us. One of us. One of us.

If this happens I would definitely get it. I'm skeptical about a U.S. release though, Square-Enix has been very reluctant to release DQ in the west. Usually Nintendo has to coerce SE and sometimes Nintendo even has to publish it themselves (Like with Dragon Quest IX, for example).---http://psnprofiles.com/C_Dalke

If it does happen (I don't think it will, because from what I saw the "source" says nothing about it coming to the Vita at all, only that it would work better on it), it would probably never leave Japan.---"but if you're the kind of person who thinks that anything with primary colors is for kids than nothing will change your mind." - Arucard05
